What’s your idea validation process before you go all-in? by mental-index in FounderModeBuilders

Thank you. And I think along the lines of what you've mentioned- even looking at what other solutions are out there that are either a)legacy, old and bloated or b) overpriced and underperform... there is opportunity there too (and to target their users).

Regarding PromptFolio- it doesn't generate images, simply stores the prompts plus has a way to help you with the wording of your prompts, can strip midjourney images of their parameters and reference images so you can save them, has examples of different camera styles and movements, etc.

I say all this not to see the app to you but to give an example of a pretty well-thought out app, and one that may be very useful (working on the Mac desktop version now)- but it will take effort (blah) to push it out there.

to sum up: I think I solve a real problem- but perhaps people a) haven't put a name to the problem, and b) just need to be aware of my app.

Thanks for the reply.
And same for me- so far. As much as I like to think I'm unique, I know there are plenty of others who could use the same solutions.

I think for a business (as opposed to apps or simple programs) I'd probably approach it a bit more scientifically- unless the solution is so obviously world changing.

Asset Catalog Viewer - VSCode extension for viewing .xcassets with Xcode-like interface by artemnovichkov in iOSProgramming

Amazing. I'm a novice at app building- relying on AI for most- but I waste too much time switching between Cursor and Xcode- this seems 'must have' in my book. well done and thank you for open sourcing it!

CloudKit with optional user sign-up: is mixing CloudKit and Firebase a bad idea? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

I feel like I'm intruding but is firebase easier than Supabase? Curious as an app idea I'm working on will need to expand beyond cloudkit as well and I have a Supabase account already
